WIRE FRAME.

\ Application filed January 24, 1924. Serial No. 638,212.

To all whom it may concern: I

Be it known that I, HABIB CHAMANDY, a subject of the King of GreatBritain, of the city of Toronto, county of York, Province ofOntariopCanada, merchant, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Wire Frames, of which the following'is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in wire frames, and "the object ofmy invention is to design a wire frame that can be used for variouspurposes, and particularly one that can be used to support price ticketsand hold the same attached to a roll of cloth, and thus dispense withthe necessity of having to use pins or other fastening devices which arenow commonly used and passed into the goods, and in the followingspecification I shall describe my invention and what I claim as new willbe set forth in the claims forming part of this specification.

Fig. 1 illustrates my wire frame. Fig. 2 shows an article, such as aprice ticket, carried by the wire frame, and Fig. 3 is an end elevationof the frame.

In the drawings, like characters of reference refer to the same parts.

The article in question is made from a single piece of wire, bent toform two U shaped sections, A and B, one normally lying w thin theother. The section A is provided at its inner or upper end according tolocation with loops C which are coupled together by a tie bar D. Theside members E of this sect on at their lower or outer portions,according to location, are each provided with a loop F. The outer orlower ends of the side members G of the section B are each provided witha loop H, which loops project beyond the loops F, and are integrallyformed therewith. Since this frame is made from a single strand of wire,the ends I thereof are su tably twistedtogether thus fastening the upperor inner ends of the side members G together so as to form a tie bar J.The side members G of the section B are bent to form humps 2 and 3. Thehumps 3 rest normally more or less in contact with the adjacent portionof their associated side members E, and the humps 2 project beyond theseadjacent portions. and the effect of such construction is that if anarticle be passed bet-ween the sections A and B and moved longitudinallythereof, when it passes between said humps and their associated adjacentportions of the side members E, the article will be yieldingly gripped,and it is this construction that permits the frame to be c'onvenientlyattached to a bale of goods, for example, without the necessity of usingpins or spurs.

lVhen a card or other article is passed between the sections A andB theloops H will limit its movement longitudinally of said frame.

The price ticket 5 or other article is slightly flexed along the line 6,thus permitting one edge to be slipped underneath the tie'bar D,andthe'other edge to be passed into the loops lVhen the card or article5 springs back to normal shape it will be retained by the loops C and Fnormally against displacement longitudinally of the wire frame, and thisframe with its article or card 5 can be freely handled withoutdisassociation of these elements.

The dotted l ne 4:, in Fig. 2, represents the end of a bolt or a pieceof goods, and the article in this figure is supposed to be inserted inthe end of said bolt or piece of goods. In order to position the articleas described, the said sections are separated at their unconnected endsso that the arti- 35 cle may be inserted in said bolt, during whichoperation. the section A with its ticket 5 will be located above onelayer of the piece of goods, and the section B will be locatedunderneath the said layer. Uli timately the edge of the piece of goodswill lie in the loops II, which loops l mit the distance that thearticle may be inserted within said bolt.

In Fig. 3 the wire frame is shown on a more or less enlarged scale forthe purpose of clearness of illustration, and consequently the hump 3 isshown as spaced apart from its associated portion of the side members Eand the loop H is shown opened out.

The tie bar D must be located to overhang the article or card 5.

Although I have mentioned that my wire frame is made from a singlestrand of wire, this is not to be construed as confining meunnecessarily, because obviously the wire used to make the frame may becomposed of several wires twisted together.

From the foregoing part of the specification it will be clear that theframes A and B have a common opening there-into, which.

opening is located between the pairs of loops F and H.

The loops H of necessity are located beyond the loops F, in a directionmore or less longitudinally of the article.

The loops G as well as the loops F and H are disposed in planesextending substantially parallel to the plane occupied by the article asa whole.

What I claim is:

1. A wire frame made from a single piece of Wire bent to form twoU-shaped sections disposed longitudinally of each other, and one withinthe other: one of said sections being provided at one end with aretaining tie-bar which is connected at each end by a loop with the sidemembers of said sec tion, and which section is further provided at itsopposite end with loops, the loops at both ends of said section beingdisposed in substantially a common plane; the other section beingprovided at its open end with loops projecting outwardly beyond thesecond-mentioned loops, and lying in a plane substantially parallel tothe plane occupied by said second-mentioned loops; said second-mentionedsection also being provided at its outer end with humps which co-actwith the side members of said first-mentioned section in the vicinity ofsaid secondmentioned loops, to provide a yielding grip, all of saidloops being adapted to permit an article to be passed thereinto andyieldingly grip the same.

2. A wire frame made from a single piece of wire bent to form twoU-shaped sections disposed longitudinally of each other, and one withinthe other: one of said sections being provided at one end with aretaining tie-bar which is connected at each end by a loop with the sidemembers of said section, and which section is further provided at itsopposite end with loops, the loops at both ends of said section beingdisposed in sub stantially a common plane; the other section beingprovided at its open end with loops projecting outwardly beyond thesecondmentioned loops, and lying in a plane substantially parallel tothe plane occupied by said second-mentioned loops, all of said loopsbeing adapted to permit an article to be passed thereinto, andyieldingly grip the same.

HABIB CHAMANDY.
